Bombardier Challenger 604 Frost on Wings Caused Uncontrolled Roll on Takeoff
The report said that the judgment and concentration of the flight crew, who were aware of the wing contamination but did not have the aircraft deiced before departure, might have been impaired by the combined effects of a nonprescription drug, jet lag and fatigue…. Continue Reading →
Bombardier Learjet 35 Loss Of Control Due To Hypoxia
The US National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this accident was incapacitation of the flight crewmembers as a result of their failure to receive supplemental oxygen following a loss of cabin pressurization, for undetermined reasons…. Continue Reading →
Bombardier Learjet 35A Attempted Go around with Deployed Thrust Reversers
The pilot said that he rejected the landing when the aircraft veered left after touchdown. He said that although the thrust levers were positioned full forward, the aircraft did not accelerate after lifting off the runway…. Continue Reading →
Bombardier Learjet 35 Flight Crew Incapacitation Caused By Cabin Depressurization
The airplane remained airborne about three hours, 46 minutes after the last known radio transmission by the crew and struck terrain far from the intended destination. The investigation did not determine what had caused the airplane’s cabin to depressurize or why the pilots had not used, or had not received, supplemental oxygen after the cabin…… Continue Reading →
Bombardier Learjet 35A Control Loss After Inadvertent Retraction of Flaps
A witness saw the airplane ‘skimming’ the clouds in the traffic pattern before entering a low-altitude turn with a bank angle of almost 90 degrees. The airplane then descended to the ground…. Continue Reading →
Bombardier Learjet 35A Failure to Maintain Situational Awareness
During the approach, the crew was unaware of 40-knot winds that led to the controlled-flight-into-terrain accident during instrument meteorological conditions. At the time of the accident, no emergency locator transmitter was required on the turbojet; the accident site was not located until nearly three years after the aircraft was reported missing….

British Aerospace BA32 CFIT On Approach
The US NTSB determined that the probable cause of the accident was the pilots’ failure to follow established procedures and properly conduct a non precision instrument approach at night in IMC, including their descent below the minimum descent altitude (MDA) before required visual cues were available (which continued unmoderated until the airplane struck the trees)…… Continue Reading →

British Aerospace JS31 Inadequate Fuel Supply Leads To Engine Flameouts
The crew of the chartered Jetstream 31 conducted a missed approach because of weather conditions and was attempting another approach when a loss of power occurred in both turboprop engines. The report said that fuel exhaustion and fuel starvation were among the causes of the approach-and-landing accident…. Continue Reading →
British Aerospace RJ100 CFIT during Non Precision Approach
The flight crew did not have visual contact with the runway or with the approach lights when they continued descent below the published minimum descent altitude. The airplane struck terrain soon after the crew began a missed approach…. Continue Reading →
British Aerospace RJ100 Hypoxia
On 22 March 2007 when limbing out of Stockholm (Sweden), the crew of an Avro RJ100 failed to notice that the aircraft was not pressurized until cabin crew advised them of automatic cabin oxygen mask deployment…. Continue Reading →
British Aerospace RJ100 Engine Failure During Descent
During the descent into Edinburgh, smoke began to fill the flight deck. The No. 2 engine was identified as defective and was shut down…. Continue Reading →
British Aerospace RJ100 Tailpipe Fire On Start up
Prior to starting the second engine on an aircraft with an unserviceable APU, the engine RPM was not increased on the operating engine, as required. Once the start was initiated, the increased load on the operating generator resulted in the operating engine going into a sub-idle condition. The engine was then over-fuelled and the result…… Continue Reading →
OTHERPROPS BN2 Loss of Control After Takeoff
Contamination by snow, an over-gross-weight condition and the pilot’s failure to adhere to the recommended wind shear recovery procedure affected the air-taxi aircraft’s performance during departure from an airport in Canada. The aircraft stalled and descended into a river, where three survivors later drowned…. Continue Reading →
